IN THE LOGGING CAMPS.

nal makes an lntercStin" contrast between the
logging camps of forty years ago and now. de-
irving his facts from interviews and personal
observations. Forty Years ago when he began
work in the woods the crews We're small and
the fare very simple. The cook worked with
the crew the most of the time in the woods.
leaving for the camp an hour or so before meal
time to prepare the repa>t. This was not Il
great Job for there We're but four articles to
cook with. viz. pork. tlour beans and molas-
se>. There We're no potatoes, no beef no but
ter nor ANYTHING Of the kind. The camp was
heated and lighted with the huge fire in the
centre. The cook had few dishes to wash
Each man had a tin plate and a tin dipper
When he was through his meal he inverted
them on the table where they remained un-
washed until the next meal and SO it continued
until Sunday when there was grand washing
of plates and dipper>. Beans were the prin-
cipal diet in many camps every mea! for the
entire week. In others beans took a secondary
place and bread and nioIas>eS with pork fat
made up the chief dish. The camps We're cold
and smokey and hardly man could get through
the winter without severe cold.
Now that is all changed. The camps are
perfect in all their appointments. Take for "A
sample the principal camp Of A. II. {. +.
Durcn on Jarknnanplace. The main camp is
large and the roof high and light. a large
box stove heats ii and large kerosene lamps
light it Al nj INT A. we'll as the glass window :
do 10y aV. Two rows of bunk> run along
each side. \ wash room occupies one corner
and 1.-THE boss james Durcn has his office in
another. He has desk all arranged in count
ing room style. Adjoining this main camp is
the cocks quarters. The cook room is a very
important part of we'll regulated logging
camp. \ large cooking range occupies good
share of one side of the room. Opposite are
long rows of tables surrounded by benches.
Here the mon eat ami are merry. They have ii
hr>t class cook III the parsonage of Mr.. Wilson
OF Moose River. The firm gives him Il full

tcl> and it is much better cooked and served.
AT the back door of the cooks room is the
"din@le" Mherc i kept the heavy supplies such
a moia>>c> and iDUrll-tWo very important ar
ticle> in the lar,lcr. Every evening the cook
occupies himself IN coohin" Il half barrel of
doughnutS which are eagerly devourcl. In
stead OF beans every meal aS formerly they are
serted hut about twice a week. No lighter
rolls ever We're set upon lall" than Mr.. Will
son placed before u.s. Operators mud that it is
for their advantage to furnish good fare and
keep their men rontentc.l rather than to >tarve
them and have trouble all the time.
